An energetic but relaxed Asian capital, Kuala Lumpur is a welcoming introduction to Malaysia. Work up an appetite for great hawker food by ascending the Petronas Towers or venturing on a daytrip to the sacred Batu Caves.
&nbsp;
Malaysia's multi-cultural menu is proudly showcased in George Town on Penang – weekend visitors to the island come from Singapore just to eat – while further north, Langkawi is a forested island perfect for relaxation and wildlife watching.
&nbsp;
Malaysia's colonial heritage features in Penang's historic George Town and the former Dutch town of Melaka, while the silver-mining town of Ipoh now fills its historic shophouses with characterful cafés and boutique hotels.
&nbsp;
Off Malaysia's east coast, the Perhentian Islands are a backpackers' favourite edging confidently toward flashpacker status, while Tioman Island combines snorkelling and diving with sunsets and jungle hikes. Borneo's Kuching is also a foodie hub and close to orangutan adventures in Batang Ai National Park.

Experience Kuala Lumpur's tradition and modernity before visiting Penang for cuisine, street art and heritage, and Langkawi for beaches, jungle and resort stays. South of KL, see historic Melaka. There's cooler climate walking in the Cameron Highlands, while east coast islands offer snorkelling and diving.
